Henrik, you just confused me and I'm the one who wrote the post! :) Gtr66, here's how you figure it out. Set your metronome to 80 bpm. Now, do this:
1. Play 2 notes per beat, these are called eight notes Ta ka, Ta ka, Ta ka
2. Play 3, these are triplets. Ta ka ta Ta ka ta Ta ka ta
3. 4, sixteenth notes Ta ka ta ka Ta ka ta ka Ta ka Ta ka
4. 5 these are called quintuplets Ta ka ta ka ka Ta ka ta ka ka Ta ka ka ta ka
5. 6, called sextuplets
6. 7, called septuplets
7. 8, called 32nd notes
5 notes per beat, and 7 are very hard to feel because they are uncommon, but it's good to practice them. 6 is fairly common and basically feels like stuffing two triplets into a beat, 8 is uncommon, but feels like stuffing two sixteenth notes into a beat.
If 80 is too fast for bigger numbers, slow down, use 60, 40, 30, whatever. If you train your mind to be able to THINK these numbers, eventually your fingers will follow and be able to play them. Speed is mental, so you are really training your mind more than the fingers.
Henrik, only if it's 4 notes per beat is that called sixteenth notes. Otherwise they have special names.
